Back in my advertising days, we would spend half a day designing a logo for a client's new product launch. But then we would spend another few weeks writing a very detailed, very long-winded "Creative & Marketing Rational" (just a bunch of BS, really) to ... 

the Problem is

the work of these people is due to passion and out of the box vision... then why dont their marketing go in the same flow instead of using fancy and high tech wording . Faisal

Love the watch...

but hate all the stuff that goes with it and see the lack of relevance other than giving it a name. It shows that when someone runs off with an idea it is not always a good one. I do love the watch however and it is an interesting colour vs the original v... 

Very funny indeed....

Of which clearly the marketing savants at Urwerk are on when they wrote that crap. I can no longer stand watch brands taking a "since the dawn of time....." opening marketing crap. Yes...I used crap twice, no...three times including the last crap...ok fou... 

Urwerk don't even have a marketing team! Guys c'mon you're being tough at least they

Yacine is the one person communications/marketing team. What I mean is that

 
 By: alex : October 14th, 2011-09:15
Urwerk isn't what you can call a marketing driven brand and one lousy press release, well half lousy as I still liked the astronomy theme but seems like the person who wrote the release wasn't quite sure if he was to stick to the 2nd degree space stuff or... 

Mea Culpa. And why press releases are (often) as they are.

I wrote the press release for the UR-110 ZrN so please do not blame Yacine (who is still on maternity leave). And like yourseves, I also dislike the vast majority of press release texts: usually because they either all fluff saying nothing of substance, o... 

Too bad an automatic
